Tips for First Year Special Education Teachers

A Special Sparkle: Tips and ideas for all Special Education Teachers

A Special Sparkle is a great website for Educators of student with exceptionalities. This blog gives first year teachers (including general education) a few pieces of advice on their class and what to expect. They explain to keep your cool, come to class with a plan, have a calm down spot for kids, laminate everything (my personal favorite), have a behavior management system and most importantly, keep a routine. I think it has much to offer a new teacher and will be using it without a doubt.

4 questions to ask in a job interview - this is really good advice.

4 essential questions to ask at the end of a job interview when the interviewer asks, "Do you have any questions?" Whether you’re a senior preparing for campus recruiting or a recent graduate still hunting for a job, here are the top questions experts recommend asking at the end of a job interview to leave a great final impression on hiring managers and establish yourself as a top candidate. “Is There Any Reason Why You Wouldn’t Hire Me?” Kelsey Meyer, senior vice president of Digital Talent Agents in Columbia, Mo., says, “A recent candidate asked, ‘If you were to not offer the job to me, what would be the reason?’ This was extremely straightforward and a little blunt, but it allowed me to communicate any hesitations I had about the candidate before he left the interview, and he could address them right there.” “This one question is something I would suggest every single candidate ask,” adds Meyer. It lets you know where you stand and if you need to clarify anything for the interviewer. “If you have the guts to ask it, I don’t think you’ll regret it,” she says. Rachel Dotson, content manager for ZipRecruiter.com, says, “All too often you hear about candidates leaving an interview and thinking they aced it, only to get a swift rejection email soon after. Take the time while you’re face-to-face to ask about and dispel any doubts that the hiring manager has.” Make sure a key asset of yours hasn’t been overlooked. “As an Employee, How Could I Exceed Your Expectations?” Michael B. Junge, a staffing and recruiting industry leader with Irvine Technology Corp. in Santa Ana, Calif., and author of Purple Squirrel: Stand Out, Land Interviews, and Master the Modern Job Market, says that one of his favorite interview questions is when a candidate takes the lead and asks, “If I were offered this position and joined your company, how would you measure my success and what could I do to exceed your expectations?” “The question shows confidence without being overly brash, while also demonstrating that you have an interest in delivering positive results,” Junge adds. What’s more, the answer you receive can reveal what the interviewer hopes to accomplish by making a new hire, and this information can help you determine whether to accept the position if you get an offer. “How Could I Help Your Company Meet Its Goals?” Dotson also suggests job candidates ask the interviewer, “How does this position fit in with the short- and long-term goals of the company?” The response to the short-term side of the question gives you further insight into your potential role and helps you tailor the remainder of the discussion and your interview follow-up, she says. “Second, by bringing up long-term goals, you are telling the hiring manager that you’re there for the long-run, not just another new grad that is going to follow suit with her peers and job-hop every six months,” Dotson says. Junge also recommends that interviewees ask, “What challenges have other new hires faced when starting in similar roles, and what could I do to put myself in a better position to succeed?” He says few students or new grads will ask this question because most haven’t witnessed failure. To a hiring manager, this question demonstrates maturity and awareness, and if you’re hired, the answers can help you avoid the pitfalls of being new. “What Excites You About Coming into Work?” Murshed Chowdhury, CEO of Infusive Solutions, a specialized staffing firm in New York City, suggests that candidates ask the interviewer, “What excites you about coming into work every day?” “This is a role reversal question that we often suggest candidates ask,” he says. People love the opportunity to talk about themselves, so this question provides an excellent chance to learn about the hiring manager and find ways to establish common ground. “This is also a great opportunity for the candidate to determine whether he/she is excited by the same things that excite the hiring manager to see if the culture is a good fit,” Chowdhury adds.

Four essential questions to ask at the end of a job interview when the interviewer asks, "Do you have any questions?" Need to remember this. 1) "If you were to not hire me, what would be the reason?" 2) "What could I do to exceed your expectations?" 3) "What can I do to help your business reach its goals?" 4) "What excites you most about coming into work everyday?"

Avocado Chicken Salad - chicken, avocado, cilantro, green onion, mayo, salt, lime juice. Amount of each ingredient depends on your taste and I guess you could skip anything but the chicken or avocado...after all it is chicken avocado salad!

SNICKER SALAD - honestly made this last night as a novelty to check it out. Recipe makes a LOT. Important to use the green apples for the tart and crisp element. Was more of a dessert (go figure) and may be good for large groups. (tastes like a yummy carmel apple with nuts and chocolate) Ingredients: Cool whip one package of instant vanilla pudding (small box) one cup of milk Snickers (frozen or cold - easier to chop) green apples (tart, with a little sweet and lots of juicy) 1.Add instant pudding into mixing bowl and pour in 1 Cup cold milk. Mix well and let chill while chopping candy. 2.Chop Snickers bars into bite size pieces. I have added Milky way bars and Rolos before. You can always leave out the Snickers bars if you have a nut allergy. 3.Chop green apples into bite sized pieces (I use about 8-10) 4.Fold in one 8 ounce container of Cool Whip (or more if you think it needs more. I usually buy the 16 ounce container just in case) into the pudding. 5.Combine candy and apples in bowl with pudding mixture. 6. ENJOY!! Be sure and control yourself or you might just eat the whole bowl yourself!

flat lightbulb: 'flat bulb' is designed by korean designer joonhuyn kim. unlike ordinary bulbs its volume is 1/3 smaller, reducing the cost of packaging and transport. its slim shape allows bulbs to be easily stacked and prevents breakage as it does not roll. his work was on display as part of 100% design tokyo.

FlatBulb.

An interesting idea from Korean designer Joonhuyn Kim. As practical as it is to have a flat light bulb, say in regards to shipping perhaps, or storage, or even in the carry home… I think this may be too smart for it’s own good. What it gains in efficiency of transport, it looses in uniformity of light. Not to say I’m not disappointed I can’t get a few of these for my apartment (sadly, they aren’t in production). Because how cool is a flat light bulb?
